Course Description

The aim of the course is to cover a wide variety of molecular exercise physiology topics. They include genotype and performance-related traits and mechanisms by which exercise improves disease. At the end of this course you should be able to: - use genome browsers and bio-informatical tools to search 'in silico' for information related to molecular exercise physiology; - justify whether animals are suitable models for exercise research; - explain mechanisms by which exercise improves disease states such as type 2 diabetes, muscle wasting and osteoporosis; - critically analyse papers published on these topics.
